Infrastructure Plan

Record investments in hospitals, schools, public transit, roads, bridges and community infrastructure boost the economy and create jobs

Modern infrastructure that keeps people and goods moving, strengthens health care and education, expands access to digital services and revitalizes our communities is crucial to Ontario’s economic competitiveness and prosperity.

In 2014, you elected us to build Ontario up. Since then, the Ontario Liberal government has made historic investments in transportation infrastructure, schools and hospitals. We were the first jurisdiction in Canada to pass legislation enabling the consideration of community economic and social benefits — such as local job creation, training and improvements to public spaces — when infrastructure projects are being planned and developed.

But we are hearing from people that we need to do more. Commuters and families in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) and beyond want better transit. Communities across Ontario want better highways, roads and bridges. People in Northern and rural Ontario need better access to digital services. Investments in culture and recreation infrastructure will strengthen our communities.

That’s why the Ontario Liberals have a comprehensive plan to build and renew transit, highways, roads, bridges, hospitals and schools. We will expand access to digital services and build and upgrade cultural and recreational facilities.

We are investing about $230 billion in infrastructure over 14 years, starting in 2014-15. These investments will support about 140,000 jobs, on average, every year and create vibrant communities where families and businesses can thrive. Our plan is:

Providing faster and more frequent GO service through GO Regional Express Rail projects; weekly trips across the network will quadruple to nearly 6,000 by 2024-25
